A Communion Cup In The National Museums Of Scotland Collection Has These Notes:

"This pewter communion cup is from the Associate Congregation Church of East Barns in East Lothian. It dates from 1781.

The Associate Congregation was one of the groups that broke from the established Church of Scotland at the original secession in 1733. Secessions and the Disruption of 1843 increased the need for communion cups, basins and lavers."

Elsewhere In Scottish Genealogy It Is Noted Of East Barns

"This congregation originated with members of the second congregation of Haddington, resident in Innerwick and adjoining parishes who applied to the General Associate Anti-burgher Presbytery to be formed into a separate congregation, which was done in 1760. They erected a place of worship at Eastbarns, a village 3 miles east of Dunbar, where they continued until 1820, when, finding most of their members’ resident in the town of Dunbar, they erected a place of worship in Dunbar and removed there."

Howell James & Company were a firm of jewellers and silversmiths based in Regent Street in London which operated between 1819 and 1911.

The firm Howell and James was founded in 1819 by James Howell and Isaac James who were originally silk mercers and retail jewellers. The company had premises at 5, 7 and 9 Regent Street and was noted for the variety and quality of its stock. In 1838 James left the business and the partnership then became known as Howell James & Co. By 1865 the firm employed over 140 women, most of whom lived above the shop.[1]

The firm exhibited in London, at the Great Exhibition in 1851 and at the 1862 International Exhibition, and in Paris and the International Exposition of 1867. It sold items by students and designers of the South Kensington School.[2]

On the subject of destroying all object d'art made from ivory, and in particular portrait miniatures painted on ivory, television presenter and antiques expert Philip Mould said: "The thought that, say, some of our most emotive miniature portraits of Nelson, Byron and the young Queen Victoria become persona non grata - artworks of shame for which there is no market - is up there with book-burning and recent cultural vengeance meted out on the buildings of ancient Syria."
